WILLIAM G. BURRY, OF PITTSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.

IMPROVEMENT IN E-GG-BEATING MACHINES.

Specification forming part of Letters 'Patent No. 220,272, dated October 7, 1879; application filed February 7, 1879.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM U. BURRY, of Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Egg-Beating Machines, and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

My invention relates to an improvement in egg-beating machines, and consists in arranging the beater, consisting of a series of bent wires, in a vibrating arm pivoted and operated by driving-gear combined and arranged as hereinafter described.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.

In the accompanying drawings, which form part of-my specification Figure l is a top view or plan of my improvement. Fig. 2 is a front elevation. Fig. 3 is a side elevation.

In the drawings, A is the base of the machine, to which are secured supports B, having suitable bearings for the crank-shafts c f and driving-shaft G. On the shaft 0 is a gearwheel, it, having cogs on its periphery and on one side of it. On the shaft 0 is also arranged a crank-wheel, D.

The cogs on the periphery of the wheel a mesh into the cogs of the small wheel v on the crank-shaft f, and the cogs on the side of the wheel a mesh into the cogs of the wheel t on the crank-shaft c. On the crank-shaft e is a crank, it, to which is pivoted a connectingarm, '5, to one end of which is pivoted a piece, 9', which moves on a rod, 1*. a.

To the piece j at k is pivoted the vibrating arm I, on the front end of which is a socket, m,

for receiving the heater 0, which is composed of a series of bent wires, which are secured in the socket m by means of the thumb-screw n.

The rear end of the vibrating arm lis placed in a piece, 1), which atsis pivoted to the crank g on the crank-shaft f, the piece 19 moving on the vibrating arm l in harmony with the crank g.

The operation of my improvement is as follows: The vessel holding the eggs to be beaten is placed under the beater 0, which is adjusted so as to come near the bottom of the vessel. The operator then turns the crank-wheel D, which turns the wheel a, which revolves the wheels t t, which revolve the crank-shafts efand cranks g h, the crank g imparting to the rear end of the vibrating arm a circular vibratory motion, which imparts to the eggbeater 0 a corresponding motion combined with a reciprocating motion, which is imparted to it through the medium of the sliding piece 9' on the rod 7' and the connecting-arm i and crank it, thereby imparting to the heater 0 the peculiar motion used for beating eggs with a spoon, as in the hands of the housewife.

Having thus described my improvement, what I claim as of my invention is- In an egg-beater, the vibrating arm I, furnished with a heater, 0, said arm being pivoted to the slidingpiecej, and operated through the medium of the piece 19 and arm 0', pivoted to the cranks 9 II. of the shafts cf, operated through the medium of driving-gear, whereby an elliptical vibratory motion is imparted to the beater 0, substantially as herein described, and for the purpose set forth.
